CulcAao, March 26.-Three more Of the
"boodlers' appeared before Judge An
thony this morning, and went through
the formal ceremony Of giving bail. Com
missioner Dan Wren was the first to put
IN an appearance, About o'clock his
burly form was seen approaching the
Criminal Court building. He looked hae.
gard and appeared to have passed Sleep
less night. A little later Vanpelt, paler
and thinner, if possible, than ever, came
into the court room. He was all "broken
up" For wonder Van had nothing to
say. He avoided an interview, something
ne was never known to do before.
Ex-Chairman Ochs was promptly on
hand and furnished bail in the sum OF
$4,000, Colonel Abner Taylor and Hen
ry Byrnes went on Wren's bond, and
they were allowed to depart. This left
little Van in the lurch, and it was nearly
noon before he succeeded in securing o
second bondsman in the person OF Com
missioner McClaughrey, who Joined tho
notorious bailaman, Mike Mcdonald, in
giving Vanpelt his liberty. The charges
IN all three cases was conspiracy.
The grand jury was busy as usual to.
day and kept right on taking testimony.
The county institutions, particularly the
hospital and the Insane Asylum, were the
subject matter Of the investigation. This
forenoon books, documents and papers Of
account from both institutions were in
the possession Of the jury. and among
those called to testify was DR.. John b.
Murphy, OF the hospital, brother Of Frank.
the Druggist there. As figures are pro-
verbally trustworthy the bailiGs thought
Mr.. Murphy would tell an interesting
story. At all events, it is believed he can
relate q few instances concerning the way
affairs have been conducted at Warden
McGarigle's institution.

Tie Preston County Journal discusses
inseligently and at great length the sens-

concludes that the Legislature "must not

Lucas will hold his seat till the regular

probability is that the Lsgislstnre will
attempt 10 elect a Senator, and that SEN

MURDERED BY rRAMps.

IL Well.D-essed Young German Girl Found
with Her Thront Cut Oh the Roadside,
RAILWAY, N. j., March 2G.-A horrible
murder occurred here some time last night,
At an early hour this morning farmer
who was driving into the city found the
dead body Of well dressed woman living
at one side OF Jefferson avenue. Her
throat was cut from ear to ear, and her
dress and wrap were completely soaked
with haif-dried blood. The news of the
horrible disaster spread rapidly through
out the city, causing intense excitement.
DR.: James s. Green, Of Elizabeth coun.
ty, physician OF Union county and BROTH
or OF Gov. Green, was telegraphed for and
visited the Ecene OF the murder. He said
the young woman had undoubtedly made
desperate struggle for life, as the soft
earth was torn up for some, distance
around the body. On one side Of the body
lay small basket filed with fresh eggs,
The girls hands were torn and scratched.
Death resulted from the terrible wound in
the throat. An excited crowd of men and
women, numbering several hundred, was
to be seen grouped about the body, NV
DR.. Green decided not to remove the
body until it had been photographed aa il
lay in the huge pool Of blood, and ordered
photographer to visit the scene Of the
murder and take number OF views Of the
body, the tramped ground and the sur
roundings. The dead girl was about 2e
years old, and her appearance indicates
that she was OF German birth. She was
well dressed. u ,.l'5 80
1t is thought that the girl lived at SER
vice in the country and walked to the CITY
last night for the purpose OF selling the
basket OF eggs. The supposition is that
she was murdered by tramps.
A satchel filled with woman's under
clothing and dresses was found in the
Railway river, short distance from the
scene of the murder.
The woman is an entire stranger here.
The knife which the murderer used was
found IN a field about sixty feet from the
body. It 10 cheap, shell-haudIed weapon
with two blades. 1t was open, and one Of
the blades, which was about three inches
long, was covered with dried blood. A
post nortem examination was made and
it showed that the dead woman had not
been raped. The inquest will be held
Monday. AS yet no clue to the murderer
has been found.

States. He defends tho position takon by
Secretary Bayard, aud condemns the pres
ent governmentas having put very mar
row construction upon the treaty of 1878.
He says: "rhe only part Of the treaty in
volved in the present dispute is limited
exclusively to the subject Of fishing: that
it's sole object was to prohibit American
fishermen from taking, drying or curing
fish on or within three marine miles Of
the coasts, baya and harbors mentioned In
the article, and that the subject Of trade
or commerce In other commodities is not
included or contemplated. Consequently
he says that vessels which 6ah outside the
three mile limit have perfect right, If
provided with permits from the American
government to call and trade in any Do
minion port either in fish or any other
commodity. One thing, and only. one,
has been renonnced by the United States;
the right to take, dry or cure fish within
three miles Of certain specified coasts.
as regards the effect OF the retaliation
bill, he says that 1t must result in non.in.
tercourse by ships between Canada and
the United States, unless the negotiations
said to be going on in London, should re-.
suit in q new treaty. No sane man be.

LONDON, March 26.-Prince Bismarck is
not following the road to popularity in Al
sace'Loraino. Cancellation being out of
the question the Chancellor has no alter.
native but to coerce and he ia not the man
to stick at tritles. The result Of fifteen
years government Of the Rhenish provin.
ces by Germany has shown itself in a
solid vote against the German government
at the last election. It would hardly be
creditable to the annexed provinces If it
were otherwise. They have felt the i'm
pact Of the conqueror's iron heel. Until
within the past two years tho great towns
Of Strasburg and Metz have been deprived
Of local eelt-government; the privilege
was only granted them when there seemed
q probability Of German majority being
returned. -. :
A few weeks ago peremptory order
was issued forbidding all membera OF the
active and territorial armies Of France re.

later ministerial order was published
directing the adoption OF measures against
associations having French tendencies aud
